Harrowing testimony of Australian filmmaker Juliet Lamont, kidnapped by the israelis on the @gbsumudflotilla, battered & sexually assaulted

Palestinians searching for the bodies of their sons, killed by the Israeli army, in a mass grave at the Nasser Medical Complex for the sixth consecutive day.

Nicholas Kristof's column alleging an Israeli campaign of sexual violence against Palestinians contains “defects of evidence and sourcing” that are alarming many Jews amid intensifying anti-Semitic violence, @davidfrum argues. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/05/…


Massive call out to my brave, beautiful & fearless friend Noa Avishag Schnall @NoaAvishag of the @gbsumudflotilla who yesterday had the courage, while zip-tied, to shout at Ben Gvir to his face that he was a "genocidal maniac," after which she was assaulted & beaten up by his henchmen. Following a global outcry she and her fellow activists have now arrived safely in Istanbul, severely bruised but unbowed. She will be telling her story @JLFLitfest London at 15.00 on Saturday, 6th June.








@Peter_Fitz Peter, TEALS are simply Labor/Greens, the opposite of what the Liberals claim to stand for, whereas One Nation is supposedly more ideologically aligned with the Liberals(of old) so it makes complete sense that preferences should flow to the most politically aligned Party.

@Peter_Fitz Australia's Fox News @ Sky after Dark have done to the LNP what Fox did to the Republican Party, made it impossible to be moderate & not get torn apart by the base. The Australian right is cannibalizing itself because the hard right refuses to negotiate with the moderate right

I recently surveyed the Kooyong community regarding property tax incentives; the results were conclusive. 73% of the over 900 respondents backed changes to the capital gains tax discount; even more (85%) endorsed changes to negative gearing. Support for limiting the capital gains tax discount was three times stronger than keeping it as it is. The strongest concerns within our community were intergenerational inequity, housing affordability, and housing supply. These are the challenges the government must address in tomorrow's Budget. afr.com/property/resid…
